The Digital Economy and the Promise of a New Mobility

Abstract

The digital economy as a term was already established in the early 1990s. Despite its early introduction real application was only recent owing to recent, rapid technical advances. Technology as a basis allowed us to re-think entire new business models and pursue paradigm shifts such as the relationship between manufacturer and customer or government and constituent. The digital economy embraces all industry sectors but with distinct start-up periods because of an industry’s complexity, competitive situation, and beliefs.
